Audiences find ‘mother!’ extremely confusing…but they seem to like it

Whether you waited with bated breath or it just kind of snuck up on you, the theatrical release of Darren Aronofsky’s mother! has arrived. Starring Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem as a married couple who brings strangers into their homes, mother! is hard to describe, hard to watch, and hard to process. At least, that’s what preliminary audiences felt…but they don’t seem to mind.
